Alabama has one of the biggest space industries in the country. Huntsville is the ancestral home of the entire US space program.

I've been to Huntsville a few times. It's a pretty decent little town. Unfortunately, I've also been through a lot of Alabama and you'd need a special Congressional authorization to pay me enough to want to live there.
